Description
"Nothing makes us as lonely as our secrets," he spoke menacingly as he took another step forward, forcing me to back up against the wall. "I don't think you know what you've gotten yourself into sweetheart." If my heart were to beat any harder in that moment I'm certain it would've been visible through my skin. "I think I k-know what I'm doing," I stammered breathlessly as I stared up into his eyes, uncertain of the words falling off of my own tongue. - One year to the date from a far from forgetful hookup, Sophia O'Malley, an under-appreciated investigator working for local law enforcement crosses paths with the guy she never expected to see again, Luke Hemmings. A hostile gang member with an ego bigger than himself, Luke was pleasantly surprised to catch a glimpse of the one girl who never fully left his mind even after countless other meaningless hookups. He was even more surprised to see her in uniform. Although her guard is up, a complete change of pace from the night they met, he sees this as a challenge he is willing to take on. She gains a new enemy while he gains a new vice, not being able to keep himself away from her as much as he often tries. She's ready to ruin his life while he now realizes he's left with no choice but to protect her from the dangers of gang life he's unintentionally bringing into her world. Once the truth comes out it's hard to run from the demons following close behind. //MATURE CONTENT\\ Book Started: January 2023
